Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area caused by the mansard roof and dormer windows, which would be a stark contrast to the prevailing roofscape and would interrupt the uniform street scene, outweighed the appellant's desire for additional accommodation.

The desire to create additional accommodation to meet family needs was given some weight but was substantially outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy D3 of The London Plan 2021Policy SP11 of the Haringey Local Plan 2017Policy DM1 of the Haringey Development Management DPD 2017Policy DM12 of the Haringey Development Management DPD 2017
